Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Genetic crossing question
I've been away from leps for a while now and so the huge strides taken in the genetics side has me stumped, just a bit. While I'm working at picking up a lot of iniformation I'm not getting all of the time I need to research as much as I'd like since I'm also catching up on ball pythons.
Basically what I'm currently needing to know is the outcome from a breeding with a Blizzard to a SHCT. Pair bred approximately 10 days ago. What can we expect in offspring and please do explain why with the genetics "in-depth" if you so desire as I'm more than willing to learn.
Thanks in advance.

Blizzard X SHCT will give you all 100% Het Blizzards (Blizzard is a recessive trait).
Out of all the babies, about 50% of them should be super hypos, with no body spots if your SHCT is a true Hine line Super Hypo (chances are good that it is). That line of Super Hypo appears to be a dominant or possibly even co dominant trait, so when you breed a SHCT to a non SHCT (such as your Blizzard), you will produce (statistically of course) half Super Hypos. The other half could be anything from Normal looking to more of a Tangerine, it really depends on the bloodlines of the parents.
OK I think I explained it ok but let me know if you have any questions. I can't imagine trying to learn about all of the leo morphs and the genetics behind them now! There are so many morphs these days, it's nothing like it was even 7 or 8 years ago.

Kelli,
Thank you. And I agree about the morphs now as compared to 7 or 8 years ago. Back then when we had a couple of small groups breeding all was fairly straight forward and easy. Now it's a total mess. Hopefully some of it will be cleared up in the next couple of years and begin to make sense once again.

One book worth picking up which has a decent morph/genetic section is Ron Tremper's The Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos. There are also a few good websites with good morph/genetic descriptions...

Hope this helps

I'm happy to say that e got 2 nice eggs from this pair 2 evenings ago. We're now incubating and can hardly wait to see what hatches. Thanks again.

Congrats on your eggs and I hope that the incubation time passes quickly for you
I will be looking forward to seeing what pops out of those eggs when you post your hatchling pics
